I'm joining this month - <i>naturlich</i>, they're reading Ta-Nehisi Coates, "Between the World and Me".<br /><br />Pray for me (or at least for my self restraint).

One of their friends' son (they're Jewish) had joined the Israeli armed forces. This was during the period where Israel was being shelled.<br /><br />They were so conflicted - they clearly were proud of him, but also rather horrified that he was in the military and in harm's way.<br /><br />It was a very weird conversation, mostly consisting of, "How do you deal with this?"Cassandrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00083557761155403492noreply@blogger.com
